Chapter 775 Is it because you don’t want to?

Lu Miao secretly joked that she was becoming more and more like an omnipotent mother.

…

Besides, the process of crocheting is relatively complicated.

It cannot be made quickly like regular hair bands by sewing them with a single pass on a sewing machine, so the price set by Lu Miao is higher.

The original hair ties and hair bands, as well as the lace headbands that were introduced later, cost between 1.2 and 2.0 cents.

The latest crocheted hairbands are tentatively available in several basic styles, including lily of the valley, sunflower, and five-petal peach blossom.

Lu Miao’s price is 30 cents, and a pair costs 50 cents.

Some of the complicated designs she uses herself are priced separately.

For small items like hair ties, this price is actually really not cheap.

But the type and quality of the items are clear at a glance.

Especially for the styles launched later, Lu Miao has double elastic bands on the inside, which not only looks good but also more durable.

There is a reason why something is expensive, and sometimes it is not just a casual remark.

…

New models are always the best-sellers, and even though the prices are not low, many schools still want them.

But Lu Miao doesn't rely on this to support his family, so he only crochets a few times when he is free, so it is natural that the supply is slow.

Tang Mei saw it and said she wanted to learn it.

The children all went to school, so usually it was just her and Xiao Baichuan at home.

When children are young, it is the time when they sleep more.

After finishing some chores every day, she would sit and look after the children. She felt bored when she was idle.

No matter what it is, if you can help the children more, just help.

Lu Miao thought that it was a good opportunity for her to take a break since she was free, but after thinking about it, he agreed to teach her.

The older generation is frugal and used to working, so it may be difficult for them to take a break and rest.

Crocheting is not a physically demanding job. If Tang Mei learns it, it would be nice to tinker with it when she is free.

It also helps you exercise your brain, so that when you get older, your brain will be more useful.

Crochet is not difficult in itself, but Tang Mei is a slow learner.

Lu Miao taught her for two days, and she was almost able to do it.

Even if the speed is unstable at first, it will be different once one more person joins.

Lu Miao has a backlog of small orders, and his list speed has obviously increased a lot.

Two weeks later, after clearing most of the pre-ordered hair ties, Lu Miao came back with a "huge" payment of more than 16 yuan, saying that most of it was earned by his aunt.

Originally I just wanted to make Tang Mei happy, and Tang Mei was indeed very happy. But maybe making money is like saving money, it's easy to get addicted.

Whenever she had some free time, Tang Mei would hold a small basket and watch her child crochet.

There are only a few basic styles, she crochets this one today and that one tomorrow.

The finished products were all put into Lu Miao’s old pocket which he used to store hair ornaments and hair ties.

He told others which type they wanted to buy and let Lu Miao choose directly from the list.

To be honest, Lu Miao originally just wanted Tang Mei to do some preparatory homework in advance.

Keep your brain sharp so you can prevent Alzheimer's disease in the future.

Who knew Tang Mei was so positive?

It’s a bit difficult to give her any help.

She was originally a lazy snake, but now she feels embarrassed to continue being lazy.

Otherwise she would seem like a hands-off boss.

Although in her daily life, she does spend most of her time doing nothing...

Back to the topic, influenced by Tang Mei, Lu Miao started to do it when he had nothing to do.

As time went by, the old canvas bag at home that contained these small items was always bulging every day.

Lu Miao earned some pocket money from the bonus of the new model, but he also encountered some trouble.

There are more and more girls in school who use crocheted hairbands.

The news that you can buy the most fashionable hair ties, brooches and the like from her spread more and more widely.

Gradually, people on campus began to talk about her behavior of selling hairbands.

Later, someone even posted a big-character poster about her on the school bulletin board.

As if he had observed her closely, he carefully listed several pieces of evidence against her.

Exaggeration to the point of being extravagant in life.

You need a car to pick you up and drop you off at school.

I only wear new clothes.

While at school, he also sold small commodities to his classmates.

They said she was not a capitalist roader, but a true capitalist daughter of the exploiting class.

We call on alumni to bring her to justice.

…

Lu Miao heard the news from a classmate.

But to be honest, she really doesn't want to bother with this matter.

If you don't want to pay attention, just ignore it. Lu Miao turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and continued to do his usual thing.

This made Wang Mian and Guan Yangyang very anxious.

Guan Yangyang was worried for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stood up and said:

"There are so many people at the notice board right now, don't go there. I'll tear it down!"

Lu Miao stopped her and pulled her back: "Don't go."

"Why? Are you just going to ignore it? If things get out of hand, it will be hard to put an end to it!"

Lu Miao shook his head, lazily and calmly as always:

"Someone will take care of it."

"who?"

Guan Yangyang looked suspicious and obviously didn't believe it.

Lu Miao opened his lips and was about to speak but before he could, a commotion was heard from the corridor outside, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

Lu Miao raised his eyebrows.

It can be seen that the call for action for the big-character poster was very well done.

The front and back doors of English Class 1 were soon blocked.

The scene was bustling with people, and it seemed that people from all the professional branches had come.

When someone entered the classroom, all the students in the English class, regardless of gender, stood up and subconsciously protected Lu Miao behind them.

"What do you mean? Do you know what happens when you protect a capitalist's daughter?"

"What capitalists? Where are the capitalists here? I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!"

The two sides confronted each other and the situation was at a stalemate.

Someone directly displayed a big-character poster, shouting Lu Miao's name:

"It's clearly written here. Lu Miao from your class lives a life of luxury and enjoyment. Everyone sees this all the time. It's a fact set in stone! What's there to quibble about? She's clearly a capitalist exploiting the working class!"

"She, someone in her family works in a state-owned enterprise, so it's normal for her to have a car..."

This matter has caused a stir, and Lu Miao thought the school would deal with it as soon as possible.

But I didn't expect this group of people to come even faster.

She didn't want to speak out, but now she has no choice but to speak out.

Stopping his classmates from explaining and framing him, Lu Miao stood up, gently pushed through the crowd and walked out, choosing to confront them face to face:

"What's wrong with car pick-up and drop-off? Is it illegal? You don't have a car to pick you up and drop you off because you don't want to?"

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?"

Lu Miao exhaled deeply, frowned, and rubbed his forehead impatiently.

"Can you explain to me again what it means to only wear new clothes?"

Without waiting for the other party to respond, she continued:

"Did you buy it for me, or did you make it for me, so you can tell it's new?"

She looks thin and weak, a girl with no lethality, but what she says is both straightforward and sharp.
